ISA awarded me a 2013-2014 scholarship to help fund my education. I would not have been able to keep going to school if I had not received it. So, I want to give thanks to the many people of the ISA who work on securing the future of the organization just as the original founders had. ISA was and is forged and founded from true honesty and integrity that you will not find in to many other professions.

ISA publishes new book designed to eliminate or minimize common challenges during process analyzer engineering project management

Research Triangle Park, North Carolina USA (11 October 2017) - The International Society of Automation (ISA) announces it has published a new book designed to eliminate or minimize the difficulties, breakdowns and other obstacles that process analyzer system engineers often encounter during project development, engineering and design, procurement, construction, closeout, and sustain phases.

Process Analyzer Systems Project Engineering and Management by Gary Nichols, PE, CAP®, includes specific recommendations for defining hardware and documentation deliverables, adhering to procurement policy, working with team members in other disciplines and in the supply chain, and communicating among project teams.

"In my experience, process analyzers are the least understood of the petrochemical and refining disciplines and sub-disciplines," states Nichols, who possesses more than 40 years of experience in process analyzer systems engineering. "This book presents an opportunity for analyzer engineers and engineers in other areas of project engineering to understand each other better and produce higher-quality new and revamped plants and operating units where process analyzers are needed."
